Hello! Thanks for your interest in collaborating with Create. Play. Travel. We have several 2024 placements available. We’ve discovered some of our favorite products by working with brands like you.
First, a little bit about us! I’m Katie Wallace, content creator, photographer, wife, and mom to 4 kids. I started this blog 10 years ago to share creative ideas and family adventures. Since then, we’ve worked with many amazing brands on sponsored placements and our Top Product Awards. We homeschool and started traveling internationally as a family. Our content topics include kids activities, creative projects, and family adventures. Of course, we can highlight all sorts of products within those categories.
Original Content and Child Participation
Much of our content includes creative ideas we hope inspire other families. We often highlight products within lifestyle photos alongside our original content. We do not use AI to write blog posts.
Our kids often participate in our content on Create. Play. Travel. We pay them for their time to be in photos and help with video reviews. In doing so, we are also teaching our kids how to be entrepreneurs.
You can find us on Instagram, YouTube and Pinterest.
